Set Desktop Pic as ScreenSaver

[Qion]

Sorry about posting this in the wrong section- it wouldn't let me start a new thread in the Interface Enhancement section.(wierd) But, for those of you that are a little bored with your current desktop picture, and want something with a little more umph, check this out: http://freshsqueeze.com/products/freeware/

and download "Backlight 2". This program lets you easily set desktop picture to any one of your screen savers. This is really very cool, especially when you put up a background like the Flurry screen saver or the Matrix GL ss. Make sure you have a fairly decent mac before doing this though, cause it lags the slower ones.

System/Library/Screen Savers/

There are four screen savers with images (Abstract, Beach, Cosmos, and Forest). Control-click on any one of those four, and pick Show Package Contents. When the new window opens, navigate to Contents/Resources/Images, and you'll see a list of images (and their previews, if you switch to column view).

To use the images as desktop pictures, just copy the one(s) you are interested in to a destination in a new finder window. You can now tell Desktop Preferences to use these images as desktops!
